About a week ago, while on a drive up to San Francisco, I swung by the city of Goleta, in Santa Barbara county to meet artist/designer welder/Jef Hancock (http://sbhancock.com/). I’d met Jef through instagram (I admired his many vintage truck photos) and he kindly invited me to visit his “compound”. When I pulled up to his grounds I was delighted to discover one of the most interesting places I have ever encountered.

We’ve been seeing a lot of rustic elements in home décor lately. And one look that is finding some love from me is the Urban Lodge look. This style is all about a love for the outdoors, camping, canoeing, hiking, basically all things rustic and Canadian.

Janette Ewen has been one of Canada’s leading décor and lifestyle experts for more than a decade, passing on her passion for design and fashion to avid fans through magazines, newspapers and television.
